I got this doubletail of sorts from petco actually in a veiltail cup . Is there any terminology for the comb or crown he has on his dorsal fin?

I'm kind of lost for a name right now. So far my bettas have been named Cosmo, Mystic, and Supernova. I would like to stick with something similar to that so any ideas are appreciated.

He's a very pretty double tail.
For a name... Perhaps Solar Flare?

lovely doubletail~! i agree, Solar Flare's a lovely name for him. his body is black, like space, then the burst of red on his fins~

Very pretty fish!
I can't believe you found him in petco. I like Supernova.

If you want to go with a fire and rock intergalactic theme, you could also go with asteroid names like Hale Bop, Vesta or Ramzel. I am sure there are dozens if you google it.

Thanks for the ideas guys I almost went with solar flare, yet I was watching him tonight and he was zooming from one side of the tank to the other as he can see Supernova in the tank beside him and flaring at him. It sorta reminded me of a comet. So I'm going to go with Comet. Like I said I almost went with Solar Flare or Pulsar. I have plans to convert my 10 gallon tanks to a 20 gallon long and housing 3 males with some other tank mates. My plan is to find a a Purple Halfmoon to call Pulsar. Call me a dork but I like space lol. Solar Flare is definitely on the reserve list lol.

lol Well, glad he has a name. He is a looker. Double tails aren't really my thing, but he's pretty.

I like the name Comet for him. He is very pretty.

Yeah I'm more partial to the crowntail myself, but I seen him tonight and was like that comb is so cool.
